How to identify original 18 mukhi Nepal Rudraksha? 

Some fraudulent tests have gained popularity and must be avoided because their results are unreliable and they cannot be used to determine the authenticity of Rudraksha.

The Fake tests are the Water Test, Milk test or Copper Coin Rotation Test. All these tests are unscientific and produce untrustworthy results.

One way to determine the originality of Rudraksha beads is to take an X-ray. In an X-ray, the compartment and seeds inside the Rudraksha are observable, and their number should ideally correspond to the number of Mukhi lines on the bead. Sometimes all seeds are not visible as they get compressed during formation and compartments are very close to each other, though.

Experts at Rudra Centre can examine the bead and determine if they are original or not. You can send us images and videos of your Rudraksha at the email: contact@rudracentre.com for our experts to determine authenticity.

In recent years many labs have emerged which offer Rudraksha certification however these are highly unreliable because they do not have the right knowledge and many times make mistakes in identifying Rudraksha beads. Many traders are using these labs to issue fake certificates. These labs are not able to distinguish manipulated beads where extra lines are carved on the Rudraksha to make it a higher mukhi which costs more. Also, they do not reject beads with incomplete mukhi lines which actually don’t give results. These labs are not affiliated with any central body or government, so they do not have any credibility. Hence to protect consumers Rudra Centre has opened its own laboratory and have started issuing genuine certificate where all parameters of the Rudraksha are analyzed. We examine whether the beads are healthy, whether the mukhi lines are complete, and whether the rudraksha beads has been manipulated.

At Rudra Centre, we issue certificates for all beads procured from us. If you want an X-ray certificate for the Rudraksha bead, then an additional INR 500 is charged per Rudraksha bead.
